A/N: Short Chap. yeah i know. Sorry.

Two hours later Cassidy was gone but Amelia had stayed behind with the excuse that she had to find a book for her brother.
Fred had ditched his brother thirty minutes ago so it was just George grumbling under his breath as he put the last few books on the shelf.
"Hi." Amelia walked over and began helping George with the books.
"Hi." George grumbled back.
"So, I couldn't help but overhear that interesting little conversation you had with your brother." Amelia rearranged the books George had just put up so that they were in alphabetical order, "and neither could Cassidy."
Any other person wouldn't have noticed the way George had paused for only a second as he was putting up a large red book, or the way his eyes flickered with regret for only a moment. Amelia though had a lot of experience in observing and had noticed all of this.
"It hurt her to be called that you know. She's already upset about something and you're just adding onto it."
"That's the thing though, ever since she got that letter she's been all gloomy, she won't even talk to me anymore."
Amelia sighed and she put the last book on the shelf, "Maybe she's not talking to you because you're not asking the right question." Then she was gone.
George sighed and also left the library. He had a lot to think about.
"Hey Cassidy."
Cassidy turned to see George chasing after her. She'd been walking on the grounds, thinking about the upcoming Christmas ball. She'd been getting back into the swing of things a little. She wasn't so sad anymore though sometimes she still fell into a fowl mood.
"Yeah?"
George stopped in front of her, his breath coming out in deep puffs of cold. He wore a red sweater with a large blue 'G' on the front, a pair of jeans, and a thick blue scarf.
"I was just wondering if you were going home for Christmas?" He said quickly.
Cassidy shrugged, "I'm not sure, I don't think so because mom's in France with a friend right now and I'm not sure when she'll be back. Why?"
"Uh no reason, mind if I walk with you a bit?"
Cassidy shrugged and folded her arms across her chest before starting to walk again. She was freezing, even with all the layers. She was wearing a pair of jeans, 2 pairs of thick socks, two sweaters, a red scarf, and a green and black snow hat pulled low on her head.
"So, it's cold huh?"
Cassidy smiled at George's comment and nodded "Yep." There was silence again, "So are you going home for the holidays?"
"Nope mum decided she was going to visit my older brother Charlie." George explained.
Just then a snowball went whizzing through the air and hit Cassidy on the side of her face.
She squealed at the cold and turned to see Amelia, Fred, and Jade laughing. There was snow on Jade's gloves.
"you'll pay for that one Lupin!" Cassidy laughed bending down to pick up some snow, soon a full snow battle was happening.
"No fair, you have more people." George called form his hiding spot behind a tree as one of Fred's snowballs flew by.
"ah here comes the cavalry." Cassidy smiled when she saw Harry, Hermione and Ron coming down from the castle.
Amelia skipped over, dogging snowballs gracefully and grabbed Hermione.
"You're on our time, Harry, Ron, you're on their team." then she was dragging Hermione back over to the rock she'd claimed as hers.
Fred and Jade didn't give them time to hide, they began pelting Harry and Ron with snowballs.
The battle lasted until Jade tripped and fell into the lake, then they all went up to the common room where they hung around the fire for a little while.
Slowly everyone slipped off into bed until it was only George and Cassidy awake. Harry and Ron had been there too, but Amelia had dragged them both away.
There was an awkward silence for a while until Cassidy finally spoke, "Why don't you go to bed, I'll be fine on my own you know."
"No, it's ok, I want to stay up, and I don't want you to get lonely."
Cassidy nodded and took a more comfortable position on the couch by laying down. She and George kept talking until her eyes slowly slipped closed.
George noticed and got up from his seat for a moment he just watched Cassidy's even breathing before bending down and putting his head by hers.
"Cass, Cass." He whispered shaking her a little. She murmured something before turning a little more towards George.
George stopped and stared, she was so beautiful when she was sleeping. He froze suddenly, his hand half-way to her hair. This isn't right, he was older then her, and they hardly knew each other! But she was so beautiful, and she looked so peaceful. He carefully leaned over until there lips were so close he could feel her breath, he realized what he was about to do and began to pull back but Cassidy woke up.
She stared at George, she was shocked that he was so close, but she leaned closer, closed her eyes and kissed him, just like she'd been wanting to do for the longest time. The kiss was sweet and soft, as George pulled her closer until she'd slid off the couch and next to him on the ground. They sat like that for a few minutes, her arms wrapped around his neck, his arms around her waist.
"Sorry guys, I just……" Fred was coming down the stairs and stopped when he saw the two.
The two pulled away at the sound of Fred's voice. They sat back from each other staring at each other then at, guiltily, at Fred.
"Umm, I uh, Should go to bed." Cassidy jumped up and ran as fast as she could up the stairs to the girls dormitory.
"Hey sorry mate, I wouldn't have come down if I had known." Fred said as George got up.
"It's ok." George though he looked sadly up at the girls dormitory as he walked to bed.
A/N: Ok so I got a suggestion that i shouldn't get them together for a year or two becuase of the age difference, but i want to hear everyone eles's thoughts before I make my final diecision, the plot I had in mind can easily be re-arranged for this but I just wanted you're guys's input.
